The agreement, announced late Monday afternoon, ends several weeks of
acrimony between the two companies. Fox took out advertisements
suggesting consumers drop DirecTV for other distributors and Kurt
Sutter, the brash executive producer of FX's motorcycle gang drama "Sons
of Anarchy," took to Twitter to blast DirecTV executives.

DirecTV fired back by sending a letter to the Federal Communications
Commission accusing Fox of a misleading ad campaign and even suggested
that the Rupert Murdoch-owned company's conduct "is certainly not what
the commission had in mind when it made Fox a steward of the nation’s
airwaves entrusted to serve the public interest."
